You didn't beat the game.

If difficulty is meant to be by choice then why cant i turn off EXP share
Who cares what you're meant to do?
I literally do none of those and it's braindead easy
>He didn't cut his right arm before playing pokemon
You have no right to call pokemon easy.
>Battles every trainer
Why would you not do this? Battling is the main point of the game.
Playing the game is bad apparently
So you don't get over leveled. That's the problem with "but you can just not do these things and limit yourself!" difficulty, it just turns into gimping the overall experience. Being able to turn off xp gains at will or have level caps based on progress would achieve the same thing without skipping most of the game
Or in gen 8's case, disable exp all.
Yeah, forcing xp share was fricking stupid
>>Uses starters
lmao the starters are fricking shit
I only used flying type pokemon on my playthrough and no candies, i died a few times tbh.
>Avoid these things
>Game is still easy
lol
Only way to introduce some challenge is to nuzlocke with a no items rule and this clearly just not the intended way to play.
>Game for literal toddlers is too easy
Yes. Why are you trying to pretend otherwise?
The mainline games are easy if you have already played another Pokemon game before, if you want a bit of challenge you need to try the olders Mystery Dungeon games and Colosseum/XD.
>just don't play half the content or gameplay options then it's hard
>just don't level up
its literally a childrens game why tryhard or complain about it being easy
just enjoy the game
>I need esoteric knowledge of what I should and shouldn't do at every single moment of the game in order to make the game more challenging
So what you're saying is I need to be completely moronic to make this game difficult? Okay.
My favorite is
>Using items in battle is cheating!
*Uses Nasty Plot which is 2x an X SpAtk in a single move*
Stat boosts are generally useless in singleplayer though. Opponents die in one-two hits, so all you're really doing is wasting a turn.
Best you get is situational uses of the x stat items (particularly defensive ones) since you at least don't have to waste a moveslot on them.
They are useful in difficulty hacks, but those aren't relevant here.
People argue against using healing items in battle because otherwise you have a functionally inexhaustible supply of HP.
They're good for challenge runs.
bro just go out of your way to self impose a challenge instead of expecting built in options from the lazy millennial devs
>This game is too easy, I'm not having fun
>Then challenge yourself
>No thanks, I'd rather just not have fun
Why don't you just play romhacks like the autist you are?
